About the role:
We're looking for a Product-Led Account Executive to join our growing GTM Account Executive team. This is a unique opportunity for a seller who thrives in a PLG environment and is excited to close inbound, self-serve, and commercial contracts. You’ll play a key role in converting high-intent users into paying customers and helping them scale usage across their teams.
Joining as a founding member of the GTM Account Executive team means you're not just selling — you're shaping the future of the company. You’ll play a critical role in building sales motion from the ground up, influencing strategy, messaging, and customer experience. Your input directly impacts product direction and go-to-market fit, and your wins set the benchmark for future hires. This is a rare opportunity to leave your mark, operate with autonomy, and grow alongside the business — not just in title, but in trajectory and impact.
Key Responsibilities:
Own and close inbound deals from high-intent users (e.g. trial signups, pricing inquiries, product questions)
Expand usage within existing accounts by identifying cross-functional needs and upsell opportunities
Collaborate with Support and Success teams to turn reactive questions into revenue moments
Conduct discovery calls and product demos for self-serve and mid-market users
Develop a deep understanding of customers' needs, pain points, and objectives to tailor Captions solutions effectively
Collaborate closely with internal teams like Customer Success, Marketing, and Product, to optimize the sales process and ensure a seamless customer experience.
Meet and exceed sales targets and performance metrics, including monthly quotas and conversion rates.
Stay informed about industry trends, competitive landscape, and product developments to effectively position Captions in the AI Video tools space
Requirements:
2–4 years of experience in sales —ideally in a PLG or SaaS environment
Comfortable owning a quota and full sales cycle with a consultative approach
Strong product intuition—able to understand technical features and communicate value clearly
Experience handling inbound volume and closing “land and expand” deals
Proactive, customer-centric, and scrappy—this is a startup, not a call center
Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and manage time effectively in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
You have a results-oriented mindset with a passion for driving revenue growth and delivering exceptional customer experiences
Bonus Points: Familiarity with video tools, creator platforms, or AI products
Benefits:
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
401K with employer match
Commuter Benefits
Catered lunch multiple days per week
Dinner stipend every night if you're working late and want a bite!
Grubhub subscription
Health & Wellness Perks (Talkspace, Kindbody, One Medical subscription, HealthAdvocate, Teladoc)
Multiple team offsites per year with team events every month
